Yes, it is necessary due to the limitation on widgets that accept - class. Note that using -class has more effect than just changing the response to g_winfo_class. It modifies the class bindings and those applied by Xdefaults and the option database.
Jeff, I don't really understand this stuff well, so I hope you can give some more general advise. Is it a good idea to set the -class for the root frame of Perl based megawidgets?
What are the frame class binding you miss out on when you set the - class to something else than "Frame" or "TFrame" yourself?
Isn't the options database and the Xdefaults stuff just legacy? Does it apply under OS X, Windows or KDE? Is it actually used by the new themed widgets?
